Nathan Pitchford and Mark Sutton were in the Mini Cooper when police used a stinger to stop it on Plumstead Road in Norwich, three hours after it had been stolen in Shotesham All Saints around 10 miles away.

The owner had been alerted that something was amiss just after midnight on June 6 when her dog started barking.

She discovered thieves had used bolt cutters to force their way into her home and had stolen her handbag and car keys.
